so what will you do about the staining? just leave it or can you cover it with something? I have that issue too as a result of my bike falling over once but, I haven't figured out what to do about it. Angela On Mon, Jul 13, 2009 at 1:10 PM, wrote: > Recently, I noticed staining on my right sid

[Nighthawk Lovers] Trans fluid

What kind of transmission fluid do I use for my bike? Amsoil makes a Universal Trans Fluid for cars, can I use it for my bike or should I use something motorcycle specific? My gears are sticking right between 2nd and 3rd. I never changed or added any trans fluid since I've had the bike so I'm think

[Nighthawk Lovers] 11 inch shocks

Hey folks, I found some 11 inch universal shocks on ebay and thought they would be ideal for my bike. I currently have the 13 inch stocks with lowering blocks now but, I thought that the 11" shocks with the lowering blocks would put me right where I'd like to be. In flat foot territory. [?] But w

Hey gang! My friend needs a bike and he's thinkin' about buying a Honda Magna 700 '83. The guy only wants $500 for it. Says it ran last year needs a battery and carbs cleaned. I figure a $40 batt, a can of Seafoam and I'm good to go. Right? He's got it on the local Craigs here. Could this be too g

[Nighthawk Lovers] Re: New to nighthawks and was hoping for more then a few pointers

SPEAKING OF KEYS, does anybody know if you have a car where the key fits both the door and ignition and if you remake a key to fit JUST the door, it won't fit the ignition and vice versa?? I was told , over the phone, to remove my door lock so the locksmith could get the code and remake the key. So
